The Toughest Trail In The Badlands? Backpacking The Sage Creek Loop

[@markcummings6856]

Killer video. Time lapse of the sunrise with tents in forefront was epic. Thanks for posting.

[@robpelton]

It was 19° when I set up that shot. Worth it! Haha. Thanks for watching!

[@mary.mccallum]

Awesome video! The beginning was like backpacking ASMR. ☺Loved the time lapse sunrise - stunning!

[@robpelton]

I like sounds. Haha. I may do some sort of ASMR. The noise of camp life…haha

[@OutdoorsWithJohnUSA]

Rob, I think you picked it up a notch on this one. The video quality was amazing and loved the cinematic additions like running your camera through the grass. And revealing the skull. We’ll done!

[@robpelton]

I had fun with this one. I had like 213 video clips. Haha. All boiled down to 8 min! Thanks for the encouragement and for watching!

[@texashikeaholicsadventures]

Great video!! Definitely one of my favs!! Glad you and Tim were able to get out and have some fun!!👏🏻👏🏻bravo!!!

[@robpelton]

Oh yes! There are more adventures to be had.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Really awesome out there. Did I see some Kentucky Mingua beef jerky out there 😁 Looks like you and Buckley were having a blast out there. I didn’t know there was a difference in Bison and Buffalo. Absolutely awesome scenery out there Rob 👍🏻👍🏻

[@robpelton]

Thanks Brotha. ‘‘Twas a neat trip. Mr. Buckley is a riot. Haha.

[@gentryaustin]

Spidey pillow ftw

[@robpelton]

Ef yeah Spidey pillow! That’s a Dollar General specialty item right there!

[@Wondering_Fireball]

That is the most expensive tent I’ve seen yet! 😂😂😂

[@robpelton]

Inflation…lol

[@MidwestBackpacker]

Great video bro. I need to go to the Badlands. Never camped in that type of environment.

[@robpelton]

It was an adventure.

[@GrumpyLittleMan]

Great Video, man! I just put it on my must do list. Thanks for sharing.

[@robpelton]

Be prepared & bring lots of water. lol. Thanks for watching!

[@craigrichardson5223]

Always enjoy your videos and hope to run into on the SHT or IAT in the future

[@robpelton]

I’ll be out and about for sure! Now, if the weather would decide what it wants to do…

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Incredible footage! glad you two had this opportunity to explore such a unique place and hike the sage creek loop. Loved the spider man pillow and the gear changes. You have quite the collection my friend! Oh, and I finally turned on notifications so I don't miss future videos. Sorry for the delay!

[@robpelton]

Gear I have! Too much probably. Lol. Thanks Andy!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

@@robpelton sometimes I wish that I had an entire room to set up like an outfitter. Backpacking Gear…it’s a real addiction.

[@northtexashiker]

Great video of less popular hiking trails

[@robpelton]

Much appreciated! It’s so lesser known, we damn near got lost! A lot. Haha.

[@alexwbanks70]

Were almost twins bro. Awesome hike!

[@robpelton]

Really! So, you’re like…really good looking?? Haha. Thanks for watching!

[@tonyabrowninghikes]

Loved the video! Such a beautiful place.

[@robpelton]

It really is amazing. Brutal and unforgiving, but beautiful. Thanks for watching!

[@hootonthetrail3894]

Well done! What a great video Rob. The editing, everything just top notch! You did this off your phone?

[@robpelton]

Thanks Hoot! Yep. All filmed on my iPhone. Edited on iPad.

[@hootonthetrail3894]

@@robpelton Just incredible the magic you do with it. Impressive work.

[@robpelton]

@@hootonthetrail3894 thanks brotha!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Dude....one of your best. Really well done. That sunrise was BADASS. Another trip I'll never forget brother.

[@robpelton]

Thanks Timmy! ‘‘Twas a wonderful adventure. Let’s do more!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

I FREAKING LOVE THIS VIDEO. Aside from the personal bias, this is truly my favorite Pelton video. Refreshing approach on editing. Unforgettable memories brother!

[@robpelton]

Yeah…lots of you in this one. Makes sense. Haha! Thanks bro!

[@SuperdutyExplorer]

I just got done with this adventure... I took 10L and did it over 2.5 days though! 😂 I only have one set of kit, so the above average temperatures this winter tested the upper limits of my gear... 20deg is about as warm as I'd like to go at night! Lol guess it's better than being cold!

[@robpelton]

Nice work! This trail isn’t for the faint of heart. Thanks for watching!

[@Ontrail82]

I see u had more of that bbq jerky 😏 lol

[@robpelton]

Haha! It’s what was left from the same pack!

[@SkitterComic]

Just gonna say, “Well done backpacking video”. A lot of KZbinrs need lessons in editing. Especially outdoors KZbinrs. This was a master class in entertaining editing.

[@robpelton]

Thanks John! I try to get creative and switch things up here and there. Glad people are noticing!

[@kristalann1973]

The Badlands are one of my favorite places!!! Another great adventure Rob…love the time lapse of the sunrise and clouds…I’ve never hiked past Deer Haven…if you ever wanna hike this trail again let me know I’d love to hike the entire loop!!!

[@robpelton]

Fo Sho!

[@safromnc8616]

It's y'alls fault this area has moved to the top of my list....

[@robpelton]

You’re welcome!
